Monster Zero x SciFi Japan - Archive Only

This book was delayed multiple times, but still made it out before the end of 2016. It is incredible. It comes with a few posters and a complete script, but the artbook itself is worth the price of admission without all the extras.

A lot of the concept art is already circulating (because some of it is a pretty radical departure from the franchise) but thats only a tenth of the book. There are hundreds of pages of pictures dedicated to stuff that did make the film. Tons of detail.















I'll post more later

Wow, this book looks great! Now I just need to find a copy...Also, 2 of those insignia on the "special construction" page made me think of the "Wonderbolts". I REALLY need to cut back on the cartoons...

^Anno is such a nerd! I love it!

Seeing this image, as well as other concepts of the human Godzillas... it looks like they could be straight out of certain rumor/hoax/spoilers for this film from early this year, right? Is it in any way possible some people saw these images free of context and crafted their own story around them via guesswork?

^ that's from the storyboard for the transformation from form 2 to form 3. It is accompanied by a mushroom cloud, but I can't make out if there was intended to be an explosion as well.

Without posting a bunch of cool pictures I'm glad they went with the scarier humanoid Godzillas because I like the idea that even if Godzilla's DNA decided to mimic humanity there'd still be a corrupted monstrous quality to them (a la Biollante, SpaceGodzilla, Orga).

Great stuff! Thanks for sharing all of this, klen7. I'll have to keep my eyes peeled for all of those interior building miniatures the next time I see Shin Godzilla.

Here's a really nice two-part review -
